I have a 1935 $100 French note with serial number F00540. This seems low to me but the book only seems to give a premium for 500 and under while other notes have a premium for 999 and under. The book does say - even in the section for 1935 - that any note under 1000 usually have a premium. any thoughts on whether this note would carry a premium?

The majority of collectors that I know and sell to prefer ungraded notes. I prefer ungraded.

I am not sure what area you live in "coinme", however if you are in a major centre just take it to 2 or 3 dealers and ask their opinion. If you are in Regina, Calgary or Vancouver I can give you a few names for an honest opinion. I might also have a contact for you in Montreal and can possibly check Winnipeg for you.

Just be careful becuase if they are too keen to buy it from you they will naturally give it a lower grade.

Also remember that should you decide to sell it that if you are a private seller you usually will not get as much as a dealer can sometimes get.

This is a good note that is relatively rare so in certain areas there could be a very good demand for.
